Who We Are

We are Christians from around the world who gather each Sunday (and often during the week) to worship God and serve our Lord in word and deed.  A few of us have lived in Belgium for many years, but most of us are sojourners here, living and working in Brussels for companies, diplomatic missions, the EU, NATO and NGOs for only a short while.

We are drawn together by our common use of English, but more importantly by the One who draws us together, our Lord Jesus Christ, and we’ve been worshipping together here since 1922. For many of us, this is our home away from home, our place for fellowship and worship. We support one another, but we also reach out in service and mission to the far corners of the world.  We are one of the founding members of the  Association of International Churches in  Europe and the Middle East, as well as a full member of the United Protestant Church of Belgium.

Our church is interdenominational; that is, we come from many traditions within the Protestant family of Christianity.  Our joy is in affirming each member’s religious heritage.  Thus, on Sunday we choose a liturgy from a denomination represented in our church family.  We count members and friends from more than 18 denominations and from more than 35 nations around the world.  That makes us a truly international church as well. 

Our Beliefs reflect our interdenominational and international heritage:

• We are an English-speaking, international worshipping community.

• We are interdenominational, drawing from many traditions in our worship.

• We reflect the traditions, practices and organization of many mainline denominations.

• We celebrate the historic affirmations of faith of the Christian church through the Apostolic and Nicene creeds.

• We believe the Holy Scriptures are the Word of God and the guide to matters of faith.

• We celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion and the Holy Seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.

• We are a church in mission at home in Belgium and around the world.
